Part of being organized, is finding ways to simplify your life. And sometimes that means paring down and looking for multifunctional pieces and tools to save space. That is where this week's giveaway sponsor comes in!

The OddJob is unlike anything else on the market today in that it rolls 11 of the most common household tools into one! It serves as a hammer, mallet, nail puller, ratcheting screwdriver with seven bits and flexible extension, and retractable utility knife, while still fitting into a small bag, a kitchen drawer, or a glove box.

As it's name suggests, the OddJob is handy for assorted tasks - from hanging pictures, to assembling toys and furniture, to opening boxes, to replacing cabinet hardware. It is also useful for projects in the garage, shed or backyard.

Here is what the product manager for Crescent has to say about the OddJob, "Before the OddJob, you'd have to rely on a variety of separate tools. For someone who doesn't use a lot of tools, that creates unnecessary clutter and the opportunity for things to get lost."

The kind folks at Crescent are stopping by today to giveaway a few of these marvelous tools!

My most-used tool is probably the screwdriver. Not only do I use it to (obviously) screw things that come loose (my old pot handles, all the time!), but I pry things open, and have been know to occasionally use the handle as a hammer when I was too lazy to go get an actual hammer!

I guess my favorite would be a screwdriver. There are a few loose screws around this house and once I get started on one I just can't stop until they are all tightened. It is the one tool I hide so that the husband doesn't put it some place where I cannot find it.

Measuring tape. I use one at home a lot when I'm rearranging furniture, artwork, etc. I also keep one in my handbag (along with necessary measurements) for when I'm out shopping. never know when might stumble upon the perfect little table or some baskets that might fit in that little cubby

I use probably all of those things about the same (maybe not the nail puller, though I definitely need one with plaster walls!). What a fantastic way to reduce clutter! Even if I won one, I think they'd make fantastic Christmas presents for my extended family.

In my first apartment my favorite tool was the needle-nose pliers. Being a basement apartment, we had bugs and the pliers were perfect for moving them to the bathroom for a watery grave.

Now I have a whole toolbox of real tools and an entire house that needs them. But I was thinking the OddJob will be perfect when I taking my Girl Scout troop camping. There's always something in the lodge or cooking shelter that needs a little fix. Leave things better than you found them, you know?

A butter knife is my most commonly used 'tool'. I use it to open letters, pry open mason jar lids, as an ice pick when the ice sticks together, a screwdriver for battery compartments, to fish things out from under and beside the oven, and to clean tiny crevices.

I'd have to say my favorite household tool is our stud finder/level/electrical wire finder tool from Black & Decker. It has saved us a few times, especially in the electrical department!

This tool is so awesome!I really want one!My favorite tool a hammer. My dad recently taught me how to really use one and swing it so I hit the nail without missing. Love doing that, makes me feel handy. ha

I need this just for the flexible part! That would have kept my husband from some expletives when I asked him to hang the last curtain rod!! I would love to win! But if I don't, I am probably going to have o buy one!

Screwdriver. I'm always using it to open paint cans or tighten cabinet hinges. Also useful to open boxes! I would love to have an all in one tool though. I am always running up and down stairs trying to find where my husband put the tool I need.

We have a whole drawer in our kitchen devoted to various and sundry tools. All needed, but a waste of valuable kitchen real estate. this tool looks like it would be a great replacement for many of these tools and give me back some space in that kitchen drawer!
